The object of this study is to identify and assess the errors of the process of admitting patients in Emergency Department of Imam Reza Hospital using Failure Mode Effects Analysis, as one of the tools to assess and manage risk, as well as proposing actions to improve the process. Method: In this descriptive study, the potential modes of error related to the admission process was evaluated and analyzed by FMEA methodology. The data was collected through group interviews and holding weekly meetings with group members using the techniques of brainstorming and fishbone diagram, and the results were registered in the final FMEA worksheet. Results: Using FMEA methodology, 37 modes of potential errors in admission process of the Emergency Department were identified and analyzed, with the reliability of 85%, 13 modes of error with RPN≥140 as high risk errors were identified in three areas of errors related to nurses, doctors and errors associated with patients, then measures and solutions were proposed to reduce each of these errors. Conclusion: Applying Failure Mode Effects Analysis in a critical and high demanding ward such as Emergency Department helps to identify and correct the errors, while proposed measures for each of the errors are highly applicable regarding team composition.Evidence Based CareMashhad University of Medical Sciences2008-24873

Aim: This study investigates the effect of spirituality counseling on anxiety and depression in hemodialysis patient. Methods: This randomized clinical trial study included 90 patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis in Amin Hospital, Isfahan (2013), which were randomly assigned into two groups. The experimental group received 8 sessions of spiritual counseling and the control group took routine care. Data were collected with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and were analyzed using independent and paired t-test and exact fisher test in SPSS software version 11.5. Results: Statistical results showed no significant difference in demographic variables between intervention and control groups (p>0/05). In addition, independent t-test showed no significant difference between the mean anxiety and depression scores in the intervention and control groups (p>0/05). However, after applying spiritual counseling, average scores of anxiety and depression decreased in intervention group in comparison with the control group. Paired t-test showed significant differences between average scores of anxiety and depression scores before and after the spiritual counseling in an intervention group (p<0/05), while in the control group, this difference did not reach statistical significance (p>0/05). Conclusion: Spiritual counseling could decrease the anxiety and depression in dialysis patients; therefore it is recommended that this approach performed as a complementary, effective, non-invasive, low cost nursing intervention to decrease the psychological problems of these patients.Evidence Based CareMashhad University of Medical Sciences2008-24873

The control group waited only for three months. The questionnaires were filled by both groups before and after the intervention. Results: Mean age of the subjects was 43 years. Mean pain intensity scores between case and control group had a significant difference before and after the aquatic exercise (P < 0.001). In the control group, there was also a significant difference after 3 months of waiting (P < 0.013). Mean disability intensity before and after the aquatic exercise had a significant difference between the case and control groups (P < 0.04), but no significant difference was observed in the control group. Conclusion: Aquatic exercise was shown to be effective on the intensity of pain and disability in patients with chronic low back pain and, if considered as a treatment, can reduce the pain and disability of such patients.Evidence Based CareMashhad University of Medical Sciences2008-24873

Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of using partnership caring model on Diabetic adolescence s’ Metabolic Control. Methods This research is a semi- empirical study performed in a Diabetes Center of Arbil city (2012-2013). Forty diabetic adolescents have been designated into two groups of 20 members. The partnership caring model was performed in four stages of motivation, preparation, execution and evaluation in an intervention group for three months. Control index of diabetes was the amount of used HbA1C and Insulin level which was measured in both groups before and after the interference. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 16.0 using paired-t and independent-t tests. Results: T-test revealed that before interference, both groups were similar regarding the amount of HbA1C (p= 0.77) and Insulin level (p= 0.10). However, after interference, the T-test indicated a statistically significant difference between two groups regarding the amount of HbA1C (p< 0.000) and Insulin level (p= 0.02). Conclusion: According to the results, using this model in Diabetic adolescence for controlling Metabolic is recommended. Evidence Based CareMashhad University of Medical Sciences2008-24873

Suction is being used in most hospital wards. Closed Suction appears to have fewer side effects, although studies have reported dissimilar results. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of open (control) with closed (test) endotracheal suctioning on patients’ Hemodynamic state. Methods: This study was a randomized clinical trial in 86 patients admitted in the ICU of Besat hospital of hamedan in 2013, being divided into two groups: open (control) and closed (test) endotracheal suctioning. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate, arterial O2 saturation (SPO2), respiratory rate and the incidence of disrrythmia were recorded in patients´ questionnaires immediately, and afterwards 2 and 5 minutes after endotracheal suctioning by open and closed methods. Data analysis was performed by Repeated Measure ANOVA, t test, chi-square and Fisher's exact test. Results: A total of 102 patients were included in the study. Sixteen patients were excluded from the study and data from 86 patients were analyzed. No statistically significant differences in age (15/0P =) and sex (33/0P =) were found between the two groups. Hemodynamics index in two groups was similar before the suctioning (P >0.05). In the open group, there was an increase in diastolic blood pressure (P=0.017), mean arterial pressure (P=0.019), heart rate (P=0.003) and respiratory rate (P<0.0001) immediately, 2 and 5 minutes after suctioning in comparison to the closed group (P>0.05). Systolic blood pressure, SPO2 and incidence of disrrythmia were similar in the two groups. Conclusion: Endotracheal suctioning by closed method had lower effects on patients´ Hemodynamic status rather than the open system. Hence, closed endotracheal suctioning is recommended in the ICU.Evidence Based CareMashhad University of Medical Sciences2008-24873

Studies have shown that mothers have low level of knowledge and practice regarding their childrens’ nurishment. Newsletter is an educational media providing families with easy access to information resources. Group discussion is one of the best ways to change behavior. Aim: This study aimed to compare the effects of training mothers by either newsletter or discussion groups in nutritional quality of preschoolers. Methods: In this study, 192 mothers having preschoolers were selected by a convenient method and randomly assigned to discussion, newsletter and control groups. A newsletter was sent for 4 weeks. The discussion group was trained with similar educational content one hour per week. Data were collected immediately after the intervention and then one month later using a Healthy Eating Index (HEI). Data analysis was performed with Repeated Measurements. Context validity index and test re-test (r=0.82) was used. Results: There were no significant differences before the intervention, and between the HEI (Healthy Eating Index) score groups. HEI scores after education and one month later were significantly higher in the discussion and newsletter groups compared to control group (p<0.001). No significant difference was found between the discussion and the newsletter groups regarding HEI score after education and one month later (p>0.005). Conclusion: Effect of maternal training with newsletter and group discussions on children’s nutritional quality was equal. Given the ease of use of newsletter as an effective alternative method, it can be utilized in preference to group discussions.Evidence Based CareMashhad University of Medical Sciences2008-24873
